It begins. Predatory regime of both parties provides citizenry with another reason to shoot first and ask questions later when a raid party comes to your home.

Barack Obama has abandoned a commitment to veto a new security law that allows the military to indefinitely detain without trial American terrorism suspects arrested on US soil who could then be shipped to Guantánamo Bay.

Human rights groups accused the president of deserting his principles and disregarding the long-established principle that the military is not used in domestic policing. The legislation has also been strongly criticised by libertarians on the right angered at the stripping of individual rights for the duration of "a war that appears to have no end". . .

But another conservative senator, Rand Paul, a strong libertarian, has said "detaining citizens without a court trial is not American" and that if the law passes "the terrorists have won".

"We're talking about American citizens who can be taken from the United States and sent to a camp at Guantánamo Bay and held indefinitely. It puts every single citizen American at risk," he said. "Really, what security does this indefinite detention of Americans give us? The first and flawed premise, both here and in the badly named Patriot Act, is that our pre-9/11 police powers were insufficient to stop terrorism. This is simply not borne out by the facts."

Paul was backed by Senator Dianne Feinstein.

"Congress is essentially authorizing the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens, without charge," she said. "We are not a nation that locks up its citizens without charge."

Paul said there were already strong laws against support for terrorist groups. He noted that the definition of a terrorism suspect under existing legislation was so broad that millions of Americans could fall within it.

"There are laws on the books now that characterize who might be a terrorist: someone missing fingers on their hands is a suspect according to the Department of Justice. Someone who has guns, someone who has ammunition that is weatherproofed, someone who has more than seven days of food in their house can be considered a potential terrorist," Paul said. "If you are suspected because of these activities, do you want the government to have the ability to send you to Guantánamo Bay for indefinite detention?"

What then shall we do? A predatory regime of both parties has provided the citizenry with another reason to shoot first and ask questions later when a raid party comes to your home. Must we wait for a Supreme Court decision that comes months, if not years, after the first attack before we begin shooting at every federal officer or soldier who approaches our homes? The inalienable right of self defense says no. These unprincipled idiots are playing with matches in a powder magazine. And the first match of this new box just got struck.

It is hardly worth citing Mr President 'My Record Is Clear' on anything. Sure he promised a veto and sure he did not provide that veto - because obama wants this added power to detain and imprison.The schmuck-in-chief ALWAYS covers his bases by making statements for and against everything. Then he can lay claim 'I was for' or 'I was against' as needed.

Quote from an unlinked but related article: "Obama could put pen to paper as early as tomorrow on a law that if recognized will nullify the bill of rights – ironically tomorrow is “Bill of Rights Day”."

Obama never intended to veto the bill. It's EXACTLY what he wants. His veto threat was simply window dressing, so that he can look like a patriot by saying, "Look, I WANTED to veto the bill, but THEY (Congress) had too many votes." He has what he wants (unlimited power) and he will use it "for the common good." He has a lot of people fooled.

It's pretty clear what they are doing here. They are sifting through all the data collected with their tax payer funded super computers and then sorting that data collected on individual US citizens. The data then is prioritized based upon the words used by the individual and their contacts.

None of it constitutional and a state security agent's wet dream come true. Oaths of office? Protect defend the constitution?

Feinstein quote "Congress is essentially authorizing the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens, without charge," she said. "We are not a nation that locks up its citizens without charge."She voted for the bill. Can you spell hipocrisy?The House passed the bill as well.What's that sound? Baaaa...BaaaaI have never been more ashamed of Congress than I am today...Hunker down...lock and load

Uhhhhhhh'Bama's veto-threat has been misrepresented from the beginning.

He threatened to veto the bill if it DID NOT apply to American citizens on American soil!

There is simply **NO** national-security justification for this - everyone from Petreus (CIA) through FBI to DHS have come out AGAINST it!

This is nothing less than a threat directed at those who would oppose their agenda - and the "bipartisan" nature of this monstrosity proves beyond any doubt that "they" includes the Retardlicans as well as the Commucrats.

Anyone who had ANY doubt should now be fully aware of what is coming.

As I see it, we now have ONE possible and INFINITELY SLIM chance of heading off a MASSIVE bloodletting: A Ron Paul presidency combined with a total housecleaning in both houses of CONgress, replacing them all with carefully-vetted, true Patriots who could repeal all of this sickness.

It's not going to happen - but one can still dream and should do all within his power to work to such an end - even with the full knowledge that such is likely futile.

Paul was backed by Senator Dianne Feinstein."Congress is essentially authorizing the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens, without charge," she said. "We are not a nation that locks up its citizens without charge."

At least not until we disarm them. We don't want the "only ones" getting hurt.

It is time to start making a point about congress using the constitution as ass-wipe. I say we all start sending packages of toilet paper to our congress critters, along with a note that says: "There appears to be a shortage of toilet paper in D.C. because you keep wiping your butts with the constitution. Hope this contribution helps. Now start following through on your oath of office."

one of the provisions in this law discribing a terrorist and something one could get arrested for, is if you have more than 7 days of food stored up, you could go to jail. well how about the TV show Super Couponers that showed these people that have turned their garages and basements, closets, etc. into storage for all the food and paper idems they are getting at the grocery store for free after they turn in their coupons, so will they be the first ones to get arrested or will it be my grandmother who still cans every year from her garden?

If the government continues to deny our Rights, including redress of grievances, they are forcing our hand. The most dangerous opponent is one with nothing to lose. I'm not much into Eastern philosophy, Sun-Tzu comes to mind here. And Tyr for that matter, Norse god of Justice and War.

So now, along with all the so-called “anti-terrorism” legislation rammed through since the early 1990’s, we now find ourselves in the following position: Your backyard is now considered to be a battlefield. You can be arrested and held indefinitely without a trial or evidence. All nice and legal-like.

Let’s examine our current situation:

- People are roiling in anger over banskter bailouts and the printing of money.- Trillions of dollars are missing from the Federal Reserve Bank and they refuse to divulge where it has gone.- The govt has approx. $117 trillion in unfunded liabilities…..too many promises to too many people with no idea how to pay for it.- National debt at $17 trillion and rising.- Protests, riots, revolutions and govts around the world being toppled.- Millions of Americans have lost their retirement, or simply everything.- Millions have had their homes foreclosed on.- Many people have awakened to the fact that voting and getting “their guy” in office essentially means nothing and the game is rigged.- At least 44 million people on food stamps- Congress approval rating at 6% is the lowest in history.- Dear Leader’s approval rating worse than Jimmy Carter’s.- Since the end of WWII, and particularly in the last 15 years, the construction of numerous, massive Deep Underground Military Bases (D.U.M.B.)- FEMA ordering 350+ million MRE’s.- FEMA recently activating some 600 “detention centers” around the country.- FEMA and KBR working to contract out services for the operation of these detention camps, to be ready to go within 72 hours of being given the go-ahead.- FEMA’s stockpiling of millions of plastic coffins.- FEMA’s recently-completed contract to take delivery of 100,000+ railroad “prisoner” boxcars, each installed with hundreds of shackles.- Threat of massive solar storms in 2012 potentially frying the power grid and sensitive electronics all across the world.- A few months ago, North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue saying that we need to cancel the 2012 elections…..an obvious trial balloon floated by the administration.- The desire by many in the govt to nationalize private retirement plans in the USA.….401ks, IRA’s, pensions, etc….which are the last big chunk of wealth left in the country.- The young, 20-something generation realizing that they’ve been duped…….tens of thousands of dollars in debt and there are no jobs for bachelor’s degrees in “Gay Latino Studies”.- Govt essentially losing all legitimacy, respect, trust, and faith of the people.- Increasing numbers of people “prepping” for hard times they believe are coming.- Gun and ammo sales at record highs.- The militarization of our civilian police forces.- Govt at all levels quietly strengthening/reinforcing their buildings and adding extra layers of defense/protection.

I could go on all day, but you get the point. Clearly, our govt knows that something really big and nasty is going to go down. They are either expecting it to happen, or planning to make it happen themselves. What’s also clear is that they are very much afraid of We the People. We know what they are doing, what they have done for years…..the lies, the false-flags, the running of guns to Mexico to try and get more gun control, the running of drugs into the USA, etc. We are completely fed up and they know it.

U.S. DOJ, Criminal Division worked with the U.K police to pursue the one of the leakers of the 2009/2011 "Climategate e-maile". U.S. DOJ sent a search-and-seizure" letter to the blogger and the next day U.K. police raided the bloggers home and took his computer equipment.

The evil in D. C. is not happy.The CO2 fraud is their gold stash and they are pissed the facts leaked out.

1st match was the patriot act. 2nd match..hell BOX of matches was Obamacare. This? this is the government throwing gasoline on the fire and not expecting it to explode it's face. All the other stuff going down? Gunwalker, that stupid internet equality bill, "green" regulations, forcing the upping of the MPG fuel efficiency ratings of vehicles..all this is but more logs on the fire. Watch your backs my fellow free thinkers. The Gestapo is coming

Mike -Below is my email to my Congressman who Chairs the House Judiciary Committee:

REF: S 1867 Defense Authorization Bill

Dear Congressman Smith -

A section of this bill S 1867 does not include an exemption for U.S. citizens, and would give the government "the legal authority to keep people suspected of 'terrorism' in military custody, indefinitely and without trial." This is outrageous!

Under Section 1031 of Senate Bill 1867, if I am are merely accused of involvement in or support of some activity the Government does not agree with, military police are free to show up at my door, break it in, place me under arrest, and escort me to a military installation for indefinite incarceration without affording me the right of habeas corpus or a speedy trial on the merits before a jury in the federal judicial system. The power is not unlike that of the Gestapo. The law invites abuse beyond the obvious invasion of protected rights, because it can—like the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798—be used to eliminate political dissidents of one kind or another.

The history of modern government is rife with examples of the innocent accused. While none of us would favor a state that was less than vigilant in arresting and prosecuting American citizens for whom evidence reveals involvement in terrorist activities, no freedom loving American should accept on the pretext of the war on terror the wholesale and indefinite suspension of all Americans basic rights to Habeas Corpus, to Due Process under the Fifth Amendment, and to notice of the precise charges brought, to a speedy trial on the merits before an impartial judge, to a trial by jury, and to counsel--all guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment.

Congressman Smith, as a retired US Army officer who spent over 22 years defending our Country and Constitution, I very respectfully request that you make certain that these provisions are deleted from this bill.

The above was sent prior to the House vote. I also called voiced my outrage. Today when I called I was assured the objectionable part was deleted... We'll see!

The moment this garbage is signed into law, we are effectively under attack because any citizen may be snatched without warrant, without charge, and held without hearing indefinitely. If we are under attack, we are defacto in a state of war, and if we are in a state of war, we are no longer bound to obey a compact that the "other side" has abrogated.

I'd be open to listening to a counter-point, but I don't think there's any logical justification once this abomination becomes 'the law of the land' that can used to rationally expect the citizenry to respect (obey) those who breeched the contract....

The very idea of firing on our own troops is repugnant to me, but God as my witness, I will do so if they insist on instituting and executing this blatant violation of the Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.

Alright crunch time is near. Everyone reread the last 100 pages of "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross to make sure you understand the battle plan. Then lock and load. Three million hunters, I mean lone wolf snipers, taking the right one head each from 600 meters and this thing will be over. Face it threepers, we sold ourselves short at 100 heads.

This is treason plain and simple! Funny that this comes from an administration that fought to attempt to bring enemy combatants captured in Iraq and Afghanistan to the US for a trial but they want to deprive us of due process!

The British made a decision and set out to do something while armed Patriots met them on the road to resist the threat. Do the scenarios of 1776 and today have to be EXACTLY the same? Clearly, 101 reasons can be cited why we are living in tyranny right now. The government has made a new threat and they fully intend to carry it out. Will the Patriots decide the threat alone is enough to begin refreshing the tree of Liberty? Or will they meet them only when the government tests their new powers for the first time? Will they intervene when their first "terrorist" is being hauled away? Will they wait until they come for Mike himself? Will they not act until their own father or son is being pursued as a terrorist? Will they do anything at all, ever? These are times which try the hearts of men.

AND ONCE AGAIN, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.Why should we be shocked that of the other 97%, we will find only one of ten who will actively and physically support our quest ?The balance of the sheep will cower in groups to watch the shepherds fight the wolves. We've always expected as such, although it's difficult to ACCEPT it as such.GET YOUR SHEPHERD STAFFS PREPARED !!!

While the Bill of Rights is being eviscerated before our very eyes, The 2nd amendment to same remains in full force. I remember those who have legislated, regulated, and judged away our freedoms. Should I survive first contact, some reciprocal house calls are in order.

The time for reposting quotes and chest pounding was long past but we as a well, movement, kept going as if keeping pounding on keyboards was going to get the job done. Now the enemy's told us that we're headed to Camp X-Ray and points unknown.

With us out of the way, they can safely collapse the economy and the nation. Millions will beg the government for assistance and they'll be assisted into a life of serfdom. A few million will team up, gulch, go to their compound where if they're not targeted by the beast sweeping the countryside they'll be overwhelmed by all the now former FEMA camp internees when the government abandons them and those starving welfare people rampage looking for anything to eat. Not so far-fetched anymore.

Network, make alliances and don't live/be where you told the system where your address is.

369 names who voted to violate numerous amendments, Habeas Corpus, Posse Comitatus, and douse the U.S. Constitution in flames, passing the NDAA S. 1867/H.R. 1540 allowing U.S. citizens detained and disappeared by U.S. military on U.S. or foreign soil.

What Does It Mean To Be A "Three Percenter"?

These four principles -- moral strength, physical readiness, no first use of force and no targeting of innocents -- are the hallmarks of the Three Percent ideal. Anyone who cannot accept them as a self-imposed discipline in the fight to restore the Founders' Republic should find something else to do and cease calling themselves a "Three Percenter."

Advice on child rearing from my son.

Everyone should grow up with simulated equipment from a heavy weapons platoon. It gives you a more well rounded education and an appreciation for the finer things in life. -- Sergeant Matthew Vanderboegh, United States Army.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
